Where There Is Pfeufer...

Thursday Story Strip Day.

Back in November I shared a load of samples of Lariar and Pfeufer's The Bantam Prince, a funny adventure strip from the early fifties. Here is the rest I have from 1953 and 1954. This post is mostly for completion's sake. I know most of you will not read it all, or just gance at a Sunday here and there. And that is okay, I myself couldn't be bothered to get a complete set of Sundays and dailies either. I just picked them up wherever I came across them and now that I have discovered the black post function on Blogger I can finally put them all online at once. Still, it is not a bad strip and Carl Pfeufer as quite an important comic book artist in hs day - drawing most of the Sub-Mariner stoires in the forties. So now you can see what he did after that. Also, I always like to read the endings of strips, which you can do here as well, when the whole thing hhad ran it's course in februari 1954.

Thanks for all your efforts Ger! I think it's a neat find, I'd never heard of it before! Looks like the Prince went on a diet a some point! I'll have to read these closer when I'm at home. Thanks again!

The Number One Research Site

I have been doing this blog for more than seven years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. My interest in the undocumented and the offbeat ensures that anyone doing research into the period covered here, will probably find something he or she didn't know or hadn't seen before. I aim to become known as the premiere research site fr this subject and period and I am looking for an institution or University to take over the archives (in case blogspot vanishes one day and takes everything with it).
